does the F stand for Ferrari

I always thought FBI stood for Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Maybe one of the agents thought the F stood for Ferrari as in Ferrari F50 which goes for about $750,000.

Back in 2003, a F50 was stolen from Pennsylvania car dealer. An insurance company paid the claim. In 2008, the FBI finds the car and the thief. During the investigation the FBI needed to store the vehicle.

(do they only come in red?)

The insurance company wanted the car back but it somehow it had been in a little accident. Insurance company had a tough time getting documents from the FBI but finally got the document that explained how two agents took the car out for a spin. Really, it probably needed to be run to clean out any buildup after being in storage all the time. The FBI agent ended up examining a tree up close.

I wouldn't paint them with a broad brush because they have done good work. They also have bungled and made dumb moves. The movie "Public Enemies" shows a good example of them bungling their pursuit of Dillinger.Here's the link to a post I did on ithttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/2009/07/johnnys-blazing-guns.htmlthanks for the creative acronym.

about lisleman

I was not born lisleman. I moved there. I was born a baby. I started breathing air more than sixty years ago. Oh if you happen to read a news report about
"Lisle man" please notice my moniker is one word. I'm not responsible
for my crazy neighbors.

Sha la la lala live for today.

One of the best things of my life
(everyone's I think) is learning. I like science especially physics.
Don't ever stop asking why because there is an endless amount to
learn. Two of our daughters became teachers. This and our grandkids keeps the learning idea alive for me.

I've accepted that we all have different talents. Most of time this works well for everyone unless your talent is illegal.

Blog on and don't lose that linky feeling.

Does anyone read this far down on these things? I should hide a secret password to a bank account with some money in it. Anyone have a spare bank account with a little cash?
